Bugs

It's not bad enough that these insects are scary, but do they have to have such descriptive names, too?

It seems every year, my wife and I argue about this problem. She demands I get management in to take care of this, and I point out that no matter how many different sprays we've tried, we never win the battle.

If you get grossed out by just the thought of bugs and rodents, you'll need to know the Garden State's ranking for pests.

Every kind of critter is here, from fossilized arthropods to big, live bugs like millipedes, scorpions, hermit crabs, and yes, tarantulas.

I'll be honest I don't know why they call them "stink" bugs? I know they can give off a scent if bothered, but I have never smelt the "stank" am I just lucky? lol

So my Wife found this caterpillar in her backyard garden and she described it as looking like a dog with a saddle on its back. Maybe a little like a dachshund aka "hot dog" lol but whatever it looks like, this bug packs a bite!

THANK YOU for taking the poll, we had lots of votes.

We already told you about those 17 year periodical cicadas emerging this spring...BILLIONS of these bugs lie dormant for 17 years and then pop up though the ground like a horror movie. That is supposed to happen this May. Well hang onto your hat because apparently this influx of cicadas triggers other things to happen like an increase in pit vipers! PIT VIPERS!

Pests are a fact of life, and most of us just deal with the occasional spider crawling across a wall at home. But over the past few months, I feel like I've seen more "spider crickets" in my house than ever before. It turns out I'm not the only one.

Scientists have created genetically modified mosquitoes in an attempt to control the population of the disease-spreading monsters.

They appear every 17 years and last for a month or so. This summer they make their return. The Lovely Christina will be thrilled to see this video. For real excitement, fast forward to :38 Why do they come you might be asking yourself? In a nutshell....It's a "sex and death" party. They come out of the ground. They have sex. They lay their eggs....and die!
